Hi Nancy, if you are like me you will see this message. Even though it has been 6and 1/2 years since Wolfs passing I still come on here to cry. I was shocked to hear of Ralphs passing recently and knowing what a lonely journey grief is I wanted to tell you I am so sorry. Ralph and Wolf shared many fun times and it was fun getting to know you thru him, he surely loved you a lot, that was evident. Life moves on and so we must but from one widow to another I know that there is always a space in our hearts for our wonderful husbands and that grieving them never stops. Our memories are our treasures... truly. God Bless-

Nancy, Vickie and families So sorry to hear of Ralph's passing...way too soon. They say time heals all wounds, but we know time has stood still right now in your grief and you can only cling to the memory of what he meant as a husband, brother, son, uncle. We remember too....Blair worked with Ralph on a few projects in the 80's with a story or two to tell I'm sure, back when they were both young and learning the carpentry trade. I didn't know him well, but I recall seeing him a few times in the past few years and thinking what a friendly, outgoing guy he was greeting everyone with a smile, sometimes a quick joke and hearty laugh. May all your cherished moments in time including the laughter as well as life's challenges and most of all the love you shared, serve to comfort you now and sustain you in the future. with heartfelt condolence Blair and Dar

Nancy, I've had the pleasure of knowing Ralph the last 2 1/2 years and so, as one of my staff, this is very hard. Ralph was a great person to have in our department. Ralph's knowledge and commitment to his work were very commendable. There was no task too big or too small for Ralph. I really appreciated Ralph's, "tell it like it is" approach to his work and life. Even when he found out about his cancer, Ralph faced it squarely and with resolve. Ralph will be greatly missed. We continue to extend our thoughts and prayers to you Nancy. May you be comforted by all those great memories.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ralph. May the peace which comes from the memories of this fine man, comfort you now and in the days ahead. Cherish the memories you have had together and may they live on forever. I have many fond memories with Ralph and appreciate the genuine friendship he had with my father and family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Ivan Pessotto Jr.

Nancy, words can not express the sadness that came over me today when I heard the news of Ralph passing. Please know that we are sending our thoughts and prayers for you, your family and Ralph's family. I hope all the wonderful moments you spent together comforts you and makes you smile, just like when you would talk about Ralph at work, and smile. Sending you all our love! Fab & James

We wish to pass on our sincere sympathy to both Nancy and Vickie at this time of Ralph's passing. It seems to have been such a long number of years since working with and enjoying the company of you all,that the news of Ralph's illness and then his passing at such a young age came as an extreme shock. May God bless you both. Harry Patterson

Our Condolences Nancy and Family. Ralph will be missed. Ralph became a good friend at work. I will miss his friendship and CHC will miss his expertise. He was the "go to" guy for so many issues. Ralph was a great guy with a big heart and I admire the love and closeness he had for his family. I will miss his hearty laugh and great conversations. Farewell friend. Bill

Dear Nancy, Vickie & Mike; We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. We will not be able to attend Ralph's service as we are in Florida. It was always a pleasure to work with all of you and Ralph at WHA and I will cherish these fond memories. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Nancy and family..I felt sincere sadness when I learned of Ralph's passing. I so remember my brothers, myself, Al, Ralph and many others riding our new Harleys back in the early 70's..we were all invincible..wild..young and free. A few years back I had the opportunity to share our family cottage located on Bruce Beach in Kincardine with you Nancy and Ralph, Deb and John, Donnie and the rest of the wonderful group you all rode with. It was impromptu and the ultimate blast never to be forgotten and Bruce Beach was never the same again..lol..in a good way. Please know the Mencel Clan is thinking you and yours at this very difficult time and we will remember Ralph always..like many have said before me..his great smile..sparkling blue eyes and kind kind spirit will be sorely missed. Janie (Mencel) Loghrin...from Lions Head ON.

Dear Nancy, Vickie, Mike & family, Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Celebrate Ralph's Life his Loves and accomplishments. Take strength from your happy memories. Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
